Indians Prospective @indiansPro

Congrats to #Indians 19yr old RHP Ethan Hankins on his promotion to the (Low A) Lake County Captains. The hard throwing right hander was off to a terrific start for the (SS) Mahoning Valley Scrappers this year.
2019 - 38.2(IP) 23H 10R 6ER 18BB 43SO 1.40 ERA

Lake County Captains (C) Bo Naylor during his current 6 game hitting streak.
10-22 5R 1(2B) 1(3B) 1HR 4RBI 2BB 2SB .455 AVG .500 OBP
(started off terribly this year but bouncing back nicely second half)

-

AZL Indians (Blue) 18yr old Jhonkensy Noel extended his RBI streak to 11 straight games last night driving in one run vs the AZL Angels.
During streak: 16-42 10R 4(2B) 1HR 14RBI 5BB .381 AVG .420 OBP
(only 1 home run during his hot streak. I think he has potential but would like to see more power from 1st basemen)

Columbus Clippers (C) Eric Haase now has hit 4 HR's over his last 8 games after going deep last night. Haase is now tied with fellow Columbus Clippers teammate Bobby Bradley with 27 HR's for the most in the #Indians organization.

From an article by Bowden including top minor leaguers ready to contribute:

Cam Hill, RHP, Cleveland Indians

In addition to Karinchak, the Indians have another flame thrower who can help them down the stretch in Hill, who has also been dominating at Triple-A Columbus, where he’s allowed just 9 hits in 16 1/3 innings with 24 strikeouts.

Hill, 25, was the Indians 17th-round pick in the 2014 draft out of Redlands Community College in El Reno, Oklahoma. He’s spent six years in the minor leagues, compiling a 19-12 record with a 2.32 ERA in 290 2/3 innings, and punching out 271 batters. He’s primed for his major-league debut, which is now only a few weeks and a phone call away.

Yeah, everyone seems focused on Karinchak but Cam Hill has actually been better, way better, at Columbus.

TFIR, Kluber is pitching in Columbus today!

Game just started.

Kluber gave up a solo shot in 1st.

This is the last time Columbus will be playing Pawtucket. Next year they are moving to Worcester, Mass. (Wooster)

The WooSox instead of the PawSox?

The Wooster Roosters?

Bauers walked, Chang singled. No further damage. Onto the 2nd and more Kluber. 1-0 bad guys.

Kluber expected to throw 50 pitches today. He allowed a walk in the 1st as well. 19 pitches total. So be lucky to get 3 innings today at that rate.

Uh oh, another homer in the second...

Kluber has a nice slider going, and good movement on his pitches. But his velocity has a way to go. Topping out at 90 so far.

The homer he gave up in second was a big one, out onto Nationwide Avenue.

Some local outside grabbed the ball and threw it back into the park into RF. Gotta love minor league baseball.

1-2-3 3rd inning for Kluber. He is at 40 pitches so might get a batter or two in the 4th as well.

Kluber’s day is done at 40 pitches. He’s finishing his work out in the bullpen. Otero in for his rehab now.

Sox moving to Worcester after the 2020 season. They haven't even started building the new stadium

Oh, the Columbus announcer for todays game led me wrong.

Damn, missed it, thanks HB for the coverage.

Doesn't surprise me at all his velocity are down - arm strength takes time. Besides, first outing, you want to err on the side of caution.

3 full innings and if he feels good tomorrow it's all good.

He said after the game that he felt good. He even sounded a bit irked that they wouldn’t let him go out for the 4th and made him finish in the pen.

When Salazar first started his rehab his fastball was mid to high 80’s. It wasn’t until his second start in Columbus that he started getting up to 93. (He had made 4 or 5 starts in AZL and Akron prior to Columbus) then poof, back down to 87 again.

Kluber is scheduled to start again next Tuesday for Akron, who is home. (Columbus will be on the road, and when you have two Cy Young awards you don’t have to do buses any more)

Please refrain from using Salazar and Kluber in the same post.

Aside from that I figure Salazar's velocity still would have been in the low 90s if his latest absurd injury hadn't bitten.
